Colors of nature, Endicott Arm, Alaska, 2013

Colors that nature usually reserves for flowers appear here upon worn mounds of rock. This image is an exercise in pure coloration. It could almost be the work of an abstract expressionist painter, yet it is not. These are the colors of nature itself, preserved on stone that has endured the flow of ice, water, and time itself.

I have rarely seen color expressed in this way before. It cries out to be photographed. Thanks for noticing, Iris.

Another brilliant example of nature's artwork!

Good connection, Rose. These are certainly the most vividly colored rocks I've ever photographed, and it is all the work of nature.

With rocks like this, the red insect would blend in perfectly!
